The two articles I read were "How to Give Feedback Without Sounding Like a Jerk" and "Why Do So Many Managers Avoid Giving Praise?". I really relate to both of these articles because I have always felt like a jerk when giving negative feedback in the past, and I also have had managers and teachers who have avoided giving praise, which led me to not want to receive feedback at all. I know that when someone is giving me feedback it helps to know that they do not believe that they are a pedestal above me, like mentioned in my first article this can make people feel inferior. I also know that when in a workplace, or school, receiving positive feedback for things you have done well, will make you more capable of receiving negative feedback for things you need to improve. My overall view on these feedback strategies are that feedback is important for success, but in order for feedback to work, the feedback must be given successfully and respectfully. When giving feedback later in this course, I hope that I will be able to follow these suggestions in order to promote success not only for the other students, but for me as well.
